About this episode

Pastor Dominic discusses the dangers of hardened hearts and the hope found in Jesus as he continues the sermon series in the Gospel of Matthew.

Pastor Dominic continues our sermon series in the Gospel of Matthew, preaching from Matthew 12:38–50. In this message, he warns of the danger of hardened hearts and empty faith while pointing to the hope found in Jesus—the greater Jonah and the promised Savior. As Christ calls people to true repentance and obedience, we are invited into an enduring relationship with Him as members of God’s family.
